This was a great picture, and when Luis calls MARIO on the phone, the contact name shows up as "Palau" - spanish for bald.

I did post many pictures on Facebook, including this one and I mentioned that at this point in the trip, I think my last night, I was speaking spanish as well as I can, Luis was speaking some english, and we had a pretty good conversation without MARIO having to translate. Great fun!

ahh yesssss "Palau"...well actually it is chilean slang
The 'right slang' way is "Pelao"....which is a deformation of the correct way to write it : "PelaDo"...
"ADO" ending in spanish verbs is the past perfect,,like EAT-EATEN and chilean spanish doesn t pronounce the "D".

Now,,, 'Pelado' is the past perfect of 'To Peel' ,,so the meaning is related to my good friend s head....no hair.
Nicknames and metaphorical references are extremely popular in SA; Chilean and Argentineans probably are the top 2. And regarding the pronunciation ,,both are the worst spanish in my opinion.

So JIM was amazingly well dealing with this weird spanish.

Hey folks. Just letting you know that Kurt (NorCalKurt) has died. No real details, but it was fairly sudden. He went into the hospital just this past week.

I'm sure he and Rick are rocking it together now.

Hold your friends close.

Sad news. He seemed like a good guy and a big prog fan.

Some pix of Rundvis and me and other A-dam locals ( his girlfriend Mindy and friends Steve and Alf)

[progscotty]

Nice photos Jim. Looks like you're have a nice visit to one of my favorite places in the world, Holland.

And I must say, for the first moonie I've had a chance to meet, I doubt I could have picked a better dinner companion. The food was decent, and the company stellar.

We have GOT to get together again, this time when I'm not exhausted from a week's worth of 12-14 hour days followed by a full weekend at work plus the ... stuff we discussed briefly (there are some things that a man just shouldn't be subjected to in his own home, ya know?). I'll post other commentary once I get a few moments to rub together.

Dr. Dot, signing off.

Is it my imagination, or have you lost a bit of weight there Rick? And is that a Prog Day 98 shirt? And Roger.Lee cut his hair? And Nadina is grinning way too much in those photos.

Ok, just kidding about that one.

[Rick and Roll]

Great pics! I have to go into a meeting will peruse them more later.

Nice job!

(Did you tell Riverside to make noise and keep me up on Sat PM? )

Great pics too nadina. Thanks for sharing them.

[mossy]

Nadina, great pics! Rick, great pics on the Nearfest thread!

Thought it was funny that Nadina was standing next to a sign that said "black box" in one of Rick's shots.

Also, Jim switched t-shirts with his brother...that caused a few secs of confusion (doesn't take much)

This has to be the largest moonie presence ever. With the arrival next year of the European contingent, complete debauchery will ensue and as this sort of thing is up my alley, I'm going to put getting there at the top of my list.

Now....poda.....what say you to the trip.

As an aside, and I know everyones very busy so I don't want to create "work", but how's about a picture gallery for Moonies Meeting Moonies, in conjunction with our already existing gallery.

A great idea...

We'll have to incorporate that into the new web site.

Great pictures all! Improved by the fact that I'm not in most of them, I'm sure. Rick had to take that one and ruin the story I was going to make up that says I was there "in spirit only." Oh wait, Davin has another picture of me with a rather happy cookie. Maybe he won't post that one.

Wait, looking again, Rick's pic of me doesn't have any proof in it that it was actually taken at the fest. It could have been anywhere. Yeah that's it. I can still post that story!

after meeting Nadina twice and vax often, I'd guess Muse to be 6'4", 260.

(never one to take a stab, I am).

He's definitely bigger than Tee, and sharc I hope to meet this year.

Poda..unusual suspects

I liked him next to Nadina -- who complains that everyone towers over her.

I concur on the Tee... can't say for sure about Sharc as the pic of him is with Nadina on the settee making it difficult to judge his height.
